Just Got Back and My Thoughts are:

[bordering]

Morning Chris! Even those Baggies Down Under can see what's wrong but the big man can't! Moore ( even though he was a legend ) was selected due to winning those last few games and more to the point - he would have been offered peanuts in comparison to Pulis/Pardew.

Yes we are still high in the league but a lot of our points have been down to luck and Gayle and Barnes - nothing else! Smith should have been appointed and hate to say it, but Vile will now be up there - tactically savvy manager and new investment.

We are Albion - it will take us to be mid table - fans screaming for Moore to go - six return flights by Jenkins before a new manager were to be appointed. Then the Albion way - it will be too late!!!

Not being harsh either as apart from Gayle and Barnes who have been brilliant - the football has for the most part been utter rubbish and surprised there's not been many more Wigan results!

It pisses me off when Moore says it was a battling performance - perhaps he meant there was only one side who battled and should have scored three or four against the other side who offered nothing and were utterly clueless! Then Brunt says " we will make it up to the fans" FFS - there were 3750 fans there yesterday who spent a load of dosh to see worse football from their side than you would expect from Sunday league. No wonder Mick goes to Stourbridge.......

I don't mind losing if my side have sweated for the shirt - ran until they dropped - played their balls off - played together as a team. I do mind utter absolute bollox that was served up yesterday!

DM never was the answer- the premier league swansong confused the issue and now we are stuck til we slip to mid table. Our success is based on 2 loan players. DM a great club servant will be eventually dumped the question is will it be with enough time to secure promotion. Knowing us that will NOT happen. And he just cannot see the need for young legs in a punishing schedule of matches .
We are beinning our downward spiral to be a mid table championship side.

But the board wont act quickly - though we have a very capable no 2 there
It's not the despair - it's the hope that kills you

Sadly as I said on a previous post, the ghost of that moron Pulis still survives in Darren Moore, limited in his game management, afraid to use the younger more hungry players, slow witted and blinkered, loves an over 30 year old.
Three at the back is a disaster, you just have to look at the teams that play that way, they cause themselves un nessasary problems in their own half of the field. As much as I hate Pulis he has got it spot on at Boro, a strong back four with the midfield helping out defensively, we look like a Sunday league side in our defending, yes we have 24 points but we have not played anyone of any real substance and have got lucky in a few games, Derby on Wednesday will be a real test, they play quick slick football and are defensively sound, as other posters have said this could be the start of our downward spiral, teams have found us out and Moore seems to have no plan B, whether Gayle was injured or not replacing him with Robson- Kanu was a complete joke, this from me is not a knee jerk reaction but some thing that me and a lot of other fans have seen coming for weeks, is Darren Moore the man for the job? In my opinion, no, I think we have missed a trick in not getting Dean Smith, someone that knows the league well and is prepared to use the younger players, I hate to say this but I think Villa may overtake us as the season goes on.
This is a pivotal season for us, we need to get back up as next season we won't have the likes JRod, Barnes, Gayle, Dawson, Gibbs.

I agree with almost every word, and yes Vile will overtake us. Bet Mears and Brunt are on the team sheet on Wednesday and we never learn! Edwards looked decent when he came on but hopefully he enjoyed the last 15 minutes as the next 15 minutes most likely will be in an FA Cup match!

God help us if Gayle or Barnes get injured but then again, they may get subbed anyway. Asking Robson Kanu to produce a moment of magic is like asking to be blessed with the Lotto numbers!

Whilst, I think Johnstone is decent - he's no where near in the same league as Ben Foster and looks flat footed, nervous, poor distribution, although he does make a few outstanding saves!

Derby must be a must win or people will start to turn on Moore. Many at Wigan yesterday were cursing Moore and why not - Mears/Brunt and taking off Gayle and no plan B. I spent over 100 quid yesterday to see feckin crap against Wigan - yes Wigan and what did Moore say - " we battled". Well if we battled, then Katie Price is a virgin!
